Types of Articulating Man Lifts
Depending upon the industry and the function, man lifts are available in various engine-powered and electric powered models. These equipment are great for a variety of applications. For instance there are lifts designed for outdoor applications which offer a horizontal extension of 69 feet and are capable of rising over 140 feet. As well, there are smaller kinds of man lifts which can extend 36 feet and extend 21 feet horizontally.
Normally, electric powered man lifts are used indoors on concrete slabs and have slim body designs to be able to access narrow areas. Normally, engine-powered man lifts operate on gas, propane and diesel and are mostly used for outdoor applications.
Electric Man Lifts
Electric man lifts are an ideal option for indoor use, since they do not pollute the air. They also come in small enough sizes which could maneuver them around blockages and barriers to fit through standard-sized doorways. These models are capable of fitting and maneuvering into tight areas easily. They can reach overhead work areas.
Several electric lifts have a rotating platform which is specially for targeted maneuvers and offers precise abilities. The lift controls have been designed for accurate efficiency and maneuverability. The electric lifts are offered in many sizes for using in small warehouses or similar settings and in areas with high ceilings. The electric drive can work on rechargeable batteries which are typically recharged overnight and then could be used in the morning.
Engine-powered articulating lifts have been designed for many types of terrain. Some types of these lifts are fitted with legs that are capable of lifting the body of the lift off of its wheels in order to create a a platform which is highly stable. Other articulating lifts have been designed to be utilized on uneven and rough ground.
